Summary

This paper outlines our experience of partial pelvic resection for benign tumours or those of low grade malignancy. The entire half of the pelvis may be removed with preservation of the limb. Pelvic resection must only be undertaken when the surgeon is sure that the removal of the tumour will be as radical as in an inter-ilio abdominal amputation.

Various methods of creating a rest for the superior end of the femur against the remaining parts of the pelvic bones are shown. Special attention is devoted to preservation of the limb movement and restoration of the locomotor function of the leg.

Résumé

Cet article rapporte l'expérience de l'auteur en matière d'exérèse partielle du bassin pour tumeurs bénignes ou faiblement malignes. L'hémi-bassin peut être réséqué en totalité tout en conservant le membre inférieur. Cette exérèse pelvienne ne doit être effectuée que si le chirurgien est certain de pouvoir réaliser une résection tumorale aussi radicale que par désarticulation inter-ilio-abdominale.

L'auteur présente les différents moyens de créer un appui entre l'extrêmité supérieure du fémur et la partie restante du bassin. Il porte une attention toute particulière à la préservation de la mobilité et à la restauration de la fonction locomotrice du membre inférieur.
